Doubled the memory to 256K for $200 then added a 20MB hard card for $800. Tandy was super proprietary. You wanted to expand the system you had to buy Tandy and you paid through the nose. It's the first and last Tandy.

It's the first and last Tandy. My parents bought the same model for me around December of 86. I upgraded the memory by 128K to 384K. I remember trying to upgrade the modem from 300 baud to I think was a 1200 baud model and could never get it to work. it came with some king of a dot matrix printer that did not even have a form feed button. It still sits in my basement, the floppy drive broke on it and can not even boot it anymore.
